Hi,
today, I saw that linux-kernel-di was uploaded for sparc. I tried to do
a netboot build.
I got these errors :
Selecting previously deselected package kernel-image-2.4.24-sparc64-di.
(Reading database ... 196 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking kernel-image-2.4.24-sparc64-di (from .../kernel-image-2.4.24-sparc64-di.udeb) ...
dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled:
trying to overwrite `/boot/vmlinuz', which is also in package kernel-image-2.4.24-sparc32-di
dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled:
trying to overwrite `/boot/System.map', which is also in package kernel-image-2.4.24-sparc32-di
and a little later :
# Move the kernel image out of the way.
mv -f ./tmp/netboot/tree/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.24-sparc32 ./tmp/netboot/vmlinuz-2.4.24-sparc32; \
mv -f ./tmp/netboot/tree/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.24-sparc64 ./tmp/netboot/vmlinuz-2.4.24-sparc64;
mv: cannot stat `./tmp/netboot/tree/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.24-sparc32': No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat `./tmp/netboot/tree/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.24-sparc64': No such file or directory
With a bit of hacking build/Makefile and config/sparc.cfg, I will be
able to build a image (I did it a few days ago), but the current
building system is flawed for sparc.
